Although there is a feeling that the cast doesn't want money, and the way of serving Huadao is also eye-catching, but I just can't love this film.
No matter whether it is a comic or the original work, the Koga Ninja posts give people a sense of contrast, and the contrast is beautiful, namely:
When ninjas are fighting, they are full of blood and energy. All ninjas use their own abilities to rack their brains to kill each other. In this process, whether it is the ninja's abilities, the use of strategies, or the suspicion and turning points left by the plot to the audience, it is amazing. This confrontation process gives people a very good feeling, just like two young actors, in order to attract the attention of the audience, they did everything they could.
Moreover, in the setting of the death list, the author also took a different approach. Instead of using the routine of you die one, I die a hot pursuit (such as Fuuma Kojiro), he adopted the overwhelming advantage of one party at the beginning (Koga) , while the other party is chasing this more tense way, because the other party's Iga is completely dancing above the bottom line of death
Although the battle process is full of blood, but behind the battle, there is a cold and cruel conspiracy. The life-threatening confrontation between the two races is just a gamble for the big man behind the scenes to make decisions.
What is even more tragic is that some ninjas actually know the attributes of their tool people, but they are still happy and even excited, just to eliminate their competitors for many years. And under such a stupid, just instinctive impulse, the ninjas with superpowers died, and their skills were not inherited, and their threat to the shogunate disappeared.
The fiery confrontation, coupled with the cold and cruel conspiracy, may be an alternative song of ice and fire. I think this is an important reason why this manga/original is complex and emotional
The failure of the film is actually a complete failure to show this conflict and confrontation. The style of the movie is very unified. From the perspective of the male protagonist's face or the slow-paced confrontation, the movie did not intend to make the atmosphere very hot from the beginning. The main creator may think that since it is a tragedy, he must be tragic to the end, so the male and female protagonists from the first appearance, whether in love or duel, are all dead faces, and all ninjas are also owed money. The unlucky face, stunned, turned the ninja duel one after another into a turbulent, unusually smooth step-by-step process
When I watched this movie, I was so sick of it because the pacing was so slow. And the confrontation between ninjas and ninjas is too routine. Basically, when the two ninjas appear, they already know who the winner is by looking at their expressions.
Also, I think the casting of this film is also problematic. Nakama Yukie is completely unsuitable for the image of the heroine. He is a royal sister himself, and it is relatively difficult to play an innocent girl. As for Oda Kirito, his body is relatively thin and his aura is weak, which is quite different from the character of the male protagonist who has strong ability and strong leadership.
